master_june24: xsec mismatch in ggttggg for FPTYPE=f (must increase tolerance)

Closed this issue · 2 comments

Another issue which appeared through #830 and being reviewed in #882.

In WIP PR #882 I added a workaround (NOT a fix) for crash #885 just to allow the CI tests to proceed further. Apart from other 'expected' failures, there is a xsec mismatch for ggttggg. This can be fixed by increasing tolerance

*** (2-sse4) Compare MADEVENT_CPP xQUICK xsec to MADEVENT_FORTRAN xsec ***

ERROR! xsec from fortran (2.6007004181875136E-006) and cpp (2.6020625819045072E-006) differ by more than 4E-4 (0.0005237680232093034)

I increased it to 6E-4. Enough for sse4, not enough for avx2...

Ok fixed in #882 (for the master_june24 branch, to be merged there eventually). Closing.

PS I also immediately merged the patch into master in #890.
